K Gowtham to S Watson, SIX! Whatttt power! Gowtham does the crime of dropping it short, Shane camps back and flat-bats it over Stokes at long on who had no chance. Fifty for Watson and it's his 15th of the tournament. Remember, he was dropped twice by Tripathi and since then he never looked back.

K Gowtham to S Raina, Chance of a run out! Raina clips it towards the left of the bowler and sets off. Gowtham charges towards the ball, picks it up and tries to score a direct hit at the bowler's end but is way off target. Rahane was up to the stumps and had he thrown it to his skipper, would have been sensible as Raina was not even in the frame. Risky single!

Strategic break taken.

Ben Stokes to S Raina, FOUR! Make that four in a row! Stokes drags his length back and angles it away on a shorter length outside off. Raina waits for it and since there is no slip in the place, he just opens the face of the bat. Still gets it off the outer half of the bat through the vacant slip cordon for a boundary. 16 coming off the over and Chennai end the Powerplay on a high, 69/1 reads their score.

Ben Stokes to S Raina, FOUR! That's even poor from Stokes! Full toss on the pads, all Raina had to do was to get some bat on it. He walks across and deflects it down to fine leg fence again. Three in a row for Raina.

Ben Laughlin to S Raina, In the air... lands safe! Banged in short on middle, angling away and it rises off the deck as well. Raina looks to pull but is in no position to play. Gets it off the high portion of the bat and much to his delight, the ball falls down safely in the mid-wicket region. The man from mid on mops it up as the batsmen take a single. A successful over comes to an end.

Ben Laughlin to S Watson, Good length delivery, angling in, worked behind square on the leg side for a single.

Ben Laughlin to S Raina, Raina is off the mark with a clip towards mid-wicket.

Suresh Raina is the next man in. He is coming after an injury so it would be interesting to see how he goes about his business tonight.

Ben Laughlin to A Rayudu, OUT! Edged and Rayudu departs! Ben Laughlin provides the breakthrough as he draws first blood. Ben hurls it on a length around off, too close to the body but Rayudu still attempts to play the cut shot. Gets an edge and Buttler behind the stumps doesn't drop these. Some relief for the visitors. Can they pick up one more to nullify the Powerplay?

Ben Laughlin to S Watson, 50 comes up for Chennai! Short of a length delivery, angling in, tucked towards short mid-wicket fielder for a single.

Ben Laughlin to A Rayudu, Fuller delivery on middle, wristed towards the right of the mid on fielder for a single.

Ben Stokes to S Watson, FOUR! Spoils the over with a boundary! Stokes sprays it on the pads, too easy for Watto as he moves inside the line and helps it on its way down to the fine leg fence. 48 comes up for the hosts in just 24 balls, that's some start.

Ben Stokes to A Rayudu, FOUR! Now Rayudu joins in the fun! Stokes begins with a short one on middle, Ambati swivels a touch and pulls it past the short fine leg fielder. No need to run for those.

Ben Stokes to have a go now.

J Unadkat to S Watson, SIX! My word, that's blazed over the fence! Touch short and on the stumps, Watson waits back and with a flat-bat he pumps it over the mid-wicket fence to pick another maximum to his name. He's up and running, folks. 12 off Jaydev's first one.
